Yup, I've been looking those too..
The shocks on the front of my carbide are soft, I should probably stiffen them a tad because when I go fast and hit a big root they do bottom out.

Ohh I think I get what you are saying. Are you thinking of putting the shocks from the front of the carbide on to the rear?
I think my front and rear shocks have the same shock measurement and the same spring measurement, but the springs on the rear do appear to be more bulky (best bet is to take front and rear off and compare side by side. Unless it is jusr a figment of my imagination).
